It takes conscious, consistent and creative effort to make a life worth living. This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction, how they feed their good wolf and now the best man.
Ever wondered how spirituality can thrive in the bleakest of environments? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Chris Hoke, a jail chaplain and minister to Mexican gang and migrant worker communities in Washington’s Skagit Valley. Hoke's journey is nothing short of inspiring, as he recounts his experiences from his book, *Wanted: A Spiritual Pursuit Through Jail, Among Outlaws, and Across Borders*. Hoke’s work isn’t just confined to the pages of his book.
He co-founded Underground Coffee, a coffee-roasting business that employs men coming out of prison and addiction. This initiative connects them to agricultural partners in Honduras, offering a lifeline to those seeking redemption and a fresh start. His story has garnered attention from NPR’s Snap Judgment and publications like Sojourners and Christian Century. Throughout the episode, Hoke shares profound insights on how spirituality can spark inspiration and hope, even in the darkest moments.
He delves into the current state of the prison system, emphasizing the importance of human connection in rehabilitation and recovery. His approach to 'practical mysticism' offers a unique perspective on blending faith with everyday life challenges. Hoke’s narrative is a testament to the power of a transformed heart and its ability to inspire change. His work with marginalized communities highlights the intersection of spirituality and social justice, underscoring the need for conscious and consistent efforts to create meaningful lives.
